OF thirty Northwestern ploW man

designed. especially to squeeze the

Judging from the signs of good
will that greet Mr.. Cleveland as he
travels, this is not so much the Presi-
dent swinging around the circle as
the circle swinging around the Presi-
den..-[Philadelpma Times, Ind.
1t is time for the Knights of Labor
to drive off the shams, mercenaries,
frauds, salary-grabbers and braggarts
who have so long hung to their skirts
while devouring their substance and
using them for ends which every hon.
est man must despise. York
Sun, Ind.
A Blaine organ is sufficiently par
tisan to recall the fact that when the
Statesman visited indianapolis in
1884. 1.-The crowd that came to greet
him was at least twice as great as that
which welcomed President Cleveland
on Saturday" But all the same Mr..
Blaine lacked 6,512 votes of carrying
Indiana.-New York World, Dem.
The settled portion of Henry
George, according to his own state
ment, is to "knock the two old parties
into one." We have only to say that
to acc omplish any such object Brother
George will need some more effective
weapon than the inflated bladder
with which he is now hammering the
suffering public. Philadelphia Press,
Rep.
We can understand that to raise up
the poor of Europe would be most
,nagnanimous of us; but, as charity
begins at home, we do not think it
would be wise. We have our own
poor. They are not as poor as those
of the Old World are, but poor enough
to make us desire that they shall be-
come no poorer.-[Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
The defeat of the resolution in favor
of service pensions in the Grand
Army encampment by a vote of 31S
to 173 puts quietus on a scheme to
eliminate patriotism from the reasons
that led men to fight for their country,
and save the nation from the danger
Of an additional $l00, 900, 900 a year to
an already enormous pension list
New York World, Dem.
Cuba is destined at no distant day
to attract considerable share of pub
lie attention. When this ripe plum
gets ready to drop into Columbia's lap
it is not likely that there will be any
protests on the part of our Republic.
Our policy is to extend hand to
Cuba-whenever she has anything to
put into it.-[Atlanta Constitution,
Dem.
The political campaign is very warm
in Ohio. Ii there were any new
marked manifestations of color preju
dice in the South. no doubt Governor
Foraker would speak OF them as addi
tional reasons why the Republicans
should succeed. Ii he has made any
pointed remarks about the active man
ifestations of race prejudice in Ohio,
the fact has not reached this office
Boston Herald, Ind.
The proposed Utah constitution
means simply, as the commission has
discovered, that the Mormons prefer
to have State, and then do as they
please about polygamy. The man
who does not know that the anti-po-
lygamy article in the constitution will
be eventually amended out does not
know the Mormons. To create the
State of Utah would make polygamy
permanent, for the Federal laws can
not interfere with the domestic con-
Germs of a State.-[N York Mail,
Rep.
The saving of competence for old
age and to provide for ones family is
a vastly different thing from this
struggle for great riches that keeps so
many men in poverty. The thing the
young men of this country ought to
be made to understand is that
"mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he pos
sesseth," and that real pleasures, even
of the worldly sort, do not come from
the outside, and are, therefore, not
capable of purchase or sale.-[Chi
cago News.
A better scheme to promote poverty
and beggary could not be devised
than to take away the incentives and
opportunities of individual ownership
and make all farmers enforced ten
ants, paying annually the rental value
of their lands. To hold that the sell
ing value of lands is a source of evil
and hardship. instead OF being a
prime factor in the progress and pros
perity Of the country, displays de-
gree of intellectualf strabismus and

The monopoly marches on. Despite
popular Indignation, railroads, tele-
graphs, telephones, oil companies, gas
companies and other gigantic enter
prises swallow up small rivals and be-
come bloated with wealth and power.
The giant seems to grow bolder and
more arrogant in the face of opposi-
ton. The feeble utterances OF Demo-
cratic conventions only seem to en-
courage him to renewed exertions for
supremacy, and make him more inso-
lent and defiant than ever in the face
OF investigation.-[New York World,
Dem,
If Congressman McAdoo is in accord
with Mr.. Randall in stating that a
reduction Of the now excessive tax in
come of the government should be
brought about by. a compromise be-
tween the protectionist and tariff
reform Democrats, there ought to be
but little difficulty found next winter
in cutting down the surplus revenue.
If Mr.. Randall and his friends will
agree to removal OF customs taxes
from food and raw material, we feel
confident that the tariff reformers will
agree to a repeal of the internal rev.
enue tax upon tobacco. There is
margin enough to admit of both
changes.-[Boston Herald, Ind.
